SBS set for royal wedding

When Australia's own Cinderella, Mary Donaldson, marries Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik on May 14, Australian audiences won't miss a thing.

SBS will screen a special three-part program, including live coverage of the wedding ceremony.

"This is equivalent of our very own Lady Di," said SBS programmer Matt Campbell. "The whole of Australia is fascinated by this story."

On Friday May 14, from llpm, Victorians will be able to watch live footage of the royal couple as they exchange vows and, take a carriage ride through the streets of Copenhagen. The SBS coverage will continue from 7am the next day. There will be two hours of highlights at 7.30pm.

Ms Donaldson told Danish public television that learning the language was hard. "There are many difficult things about the Danish language," she said. "The pronunciation is hard."
